Les Stagg Rugby League Knock-out Competition

Our U12’s Rugby League team played their fifth match last Wednesday in the North Queensland Final of the Les Stagg Trophy against Proserpine State School. This is the first since 1998 that Holy Spirit has reached the final. Holy Spirit were the best of the 22 Townsville schools and unfortunately went down against very deserving winners of Proserpine State School 30-10.
A valiant effort by our students, which they should be proud of their achievements and the way they played as a team.

Thank you to Mr Martin, Mr Clem and Mr Hull for their assistance throughout the competition and to our parents for supporting the team. The strength of our Holy Spirit community has been on display with so many staff, families and friends coming to watch each game to cheer on our students. Well done Team SPIRIT.

Swimming Prep, Year 1 and 2

In Term 4 our Prep to Year 2 children have swimming lessons. This year we are going to continue with our intensive 30-minute lessons over five days. The lessons will be in Weeks 6, 7 and 8, with each Year Level having five consecutive days of lessons across the week. There will be no cost for parents as this is included in your school fees.

Classes will be transported via bus to and from the Paul Saddler Swimland, Douglas. Qualified instructors will run the program throughout the week. Teachers will also accompany the students to the Swimming Pool.

To participate each day, children will need to have:

 Togs (one piece for girls)
 Sun safe swim shirt

 Slip on shoes
 Towel 
 Water bottle

Yours faithfully, and in sport
